Description

For sale by modern auction, guide price £27,000, plus reservation fee.

Robinsons are delighted to bring to the market this excellent parcel of land, complete with a double garage, offering an exciting opportunity for prospective developers or self-build enthusiasts.

The site previously accommodated a residential dwelling, which has since been demolished, presenting fantastic potential for redevelopment, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions and consents.

The current owner has advised that utility services remain available to the site. However, this has not been verified, and interested purchasers are advised to carry out their own investigations to satisfy themselves as to the availability and suitability of all services.

Situated in the sought-after village of Cockfield, the property enjoys a peaceful setting surrounded by beautiful open countryside, while remaining within easy reach of Bishop Auckland. The village itself offers a range of everyday amenities, including a local shop and primary school, making it an attractive location for a variety of buyers.
